1-2 yrs Pinafore design finalised

Been meaning to get around to this for ages and here it is in a lovely Tanya Whelan French Hatbox wide pink stripe.

Thanks to my mum for donating an old denim skirt.  She's very tiny, so the pocket size worked really well and looks in proportion to the teeny dress.  1-2 years old looks so small now Erin is getting so big.

 

It's teeny!

 

This is such a simple yet gorgeous print.

So there we go, the pinafore range is complete.  I feel a sudden sense of calm and order in my life.  Ahhh.

Cup of tea I think.

New WP Pinafore shape

Have slimmed down the WP Pinafore design, narrowing the neckline and sculpting the sides to give a more shapely silhouette.  Here are a couple of samples I put together today ready to take to the Buy it Baby fair.

WP ra ra skirts now in bigger sizes

Just finished off a Ra Ra skirt for the lovely Jo at Ladies that Cake.  Am just in love with the fabric.  Tanya Whelan's Darla range Picnic Rose in blue.  Stunning.

It's size 8-9 yrs so I think that means the range has now officially expanded to older children!  Must find a way to adapt the pinafore...

It's here and it's all gorgeous!

Friday and Saturday nights used to mean going out, copious amounts of booze and a lot of carbs to cure the pain the next day.  These days, I'm quite content to iron my newly washed gorgeous Tanya Whelan fabrics and crack on with the maternity smock top I started earlier, now Mr WP is getting the nipper to bed.

It's great that things change.

I am absolutely delighted with my new fabrics though.  They look even better in the flesh.  Take a look:

Now for some sewing...

Everybody loves bunting

Busy afternoon today - lots of energy!  Started my sample bunting to take to the Buy it Baby fair.  Just waiting on new fabrics to arrive (Royal Mail are so pants) and then can add them on.

Figured bunting was a jolly way to display the fabrics I have for potential customers to choose for their trousers, dresses and now skirts.

A need to knit

I'm waiting for some wool I ordered from my favourite online wool supplier www.hejhog-uk.com but it hasn't arrived yet.  I've got a real urge to knit at the moment!  I'm about to embark on two Debbie Bliss projects (and still have one ongoing): 

A peg bag (Mum's birthday present)

And a blanket for Number 2.

Nothing like setting yourself a couple of tight deadlines!

But I should be preparing for the forthcoming Buy it Baby fair on Saturday 22nd October at Otford.  So much to do!  Will just keep using the excuse that I need to wait for my new Tanya Whelan fabrics to arrive from Gone to Earth.  V excited!
